Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck to your mom, Susan.

Ah, OK, I've had star fruit.

Pho comes with a cream puff because the owner's wife likes to make them, or something? Because there's a French colonial influence on Vietnam and their cooking? Because it's DELICIOUS???

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Interesting. As far as I know, pho in this city does not come with cream puffs.

Pho is one of the things I like to get in New Orleans. Because while there is plenty of fine pho all over, Pho Tau Bay makes my favoritest.

Huh.

So, Seattle, pho comes often with cream puffs because we have SO MUCH DAMN PHO? and they have to resort to gifts-with-purchase?

Meara, which one did you go to? I love the one on the Ave.

I've never found pho with cream puff. Hrm.

We have a pretty substantial Vietnamese population here. There's a whole section of downtown with alternate Vietnamese names on the street signs.

This one, I believe. Conveniently the closest to me. But I'm curious about the other places along Broadway

I am intrigued by the concept of cream puff with pho, though knowing how full I am after pho I doubt I could actually eat and enjoy a cream puff at that point.
